ERI’s Executive Compensation Assessor (XA) reports competitive salaries and bonuses for more than 1,200 top management position titles as found within multiple industries. Executive compensation data may be adjusted for geographic area, industry, organization size, pay strategy, and compensation valuation or planning date. XA assists with precise evaluations of market pay and executive salaries and is the only source of its kind that analyzes data compiled from all publicly available executive compensation surveys. ERI’s database includes SEC proxy data and 10-K reports, as well as Canadian information circulars and UK/Europe annual reports. For tax-exempt compensation data, see ERI’s Nonprofit Comparables Assessor (CA). XA data has been utilized successfully by valuation expert witnesses for purposes of estimating reasonable compensation. Sold on an annual subscription basis, database updates are released twice each quarter (see Update Available).
